It's the preservatives. Although looking at the calories per serving it might be better than a bag of Dunstan High Performance Feed.

I might make some Cherinos (7%) (Sugar, Glucose, Water, Stabilisers (401, 410, 415).

Well when you are lounging in an infinity pool in Dubai to check out your oil futures investment you need to realise you are in a non-gambling country. But you could always ring your Christchurch runners to nip down to the local pub outlet with the days Sleeper sales cash and put it on. I would have thought you would be more organised than this.

Whatever my dear old china @MaltedMilkshake @Rowley Mile @Joe Bloggs. On the one hand you say I can't be trusted with your personal details yet on the other hand you say I have the wrong person. It's one or the other. As for trusting me with your personal details - you haven't. I took an educated guess based on recognising a pattern of behaviour and posting style. I then crossed referenced the posts from the various accounts and identified a pattern. Anyone can do that. Assuming those three accounts are yours then I've posted nothing personal other than what you have already posted yourself. As @MaltedMilkshake you didn't post anything for over 18 months until recently and before that about 3 posts since 2019. No you came here with one intention. No doubt your mate Bob has been chewing your ear.

If I'm a lonely old sod I don't know what that makes you. You are being negative and your friend Becks deserves a spray for the crap she writes. You are bitter and twisted about racing for some reason probably because of some past slight that hurt your ego. There you go again selecting old isolated incidents and tarrying everyone and racing in general. Piece of advice get completely out of the game if you haven't already as the acid bitterness you display is eating you from the inside.

@Rowley Mile aka @MaltedMilkshake aka @Joe Bloggs has history on here. Sooner or later he'll get pissed off and go back to dreaming about his next Roc de Cambes champion. You should look him up he lives just down the road from you. He's only shit stirring and is another bitter anti-racing type.

This is one of your best pieces of bullshit. Don't let the facts interfere with your fiction.

Where did I say there weren't "cheats and cruel bastards"? That's another part of your modus operandi attributing statements to someone falsely and then repeating them hoping they are perceived as the truth. You and Nairn make a great couple. Then just like her you take isolated examples and tar everyone with the same brush. "Tip of the iceberg" is absolutely bullshit. I imagine you are on the 0800 anonymously dob someone in hotline everyday. Just like the scumbags Racing doesn't need idiots like you either. Put up or shut up.

You can talk. You stir from your slumber to post negative shyte. Did @nomates give you a call? I doubt you have any active interest in racing now but happy to snipe on the sideline.

How would ENTAIN ever be in a position to "hide them"? There are scumbags in any industry and racing has caught a few BUT it isn't indicative of a widespread problem. I wouldn't put Weir and Alford in the same league either.

Miserable bastard. The class of horses is a bit better than most around the country.

Tomorrow we’re running a “dress rehearsal” for next weekend’s Proisir Plate Day with the track open for gallops from 7am, followed by a few trials from 10am. Here’s the list of horses intending to have a look around at the gallops for those interested in coming to watch. https://bitofayarn.com The TAB Winning Post (ground floor, Ascot Stand) will be open from 8.30am-11am serving coffee and some food for those in need of some energy. https://bitofayarn.com

Your typical modus operandi when challenged to back up your claims your resort to childish insults, innuendo, inference and supposition. Never facts just the good old pub talk wink wink nudge nudge say no more.

You've been talking to your mate Nomates too much. Another Anti-racing dissident. You're spouting as much crap as Nairn. As for the TAB trading insolvent that was debated at length here well before De Lore got off his arse. Even then he screws the facts up more often than not. The cruel bastards are few and far between and not the norm. But don't let the facts hit your prejudices in the face.

Entitled to an opinion which we can scientifically rubbish. You can do that on BOAY but not elsewhere. Still waiting for you to publish all "the dirty little secrets".

So you wouldn't use Formalin (embalming fluid) as an solution to harden your horses hooves and reduce infection? For example Keratex? Argon and Xenon are not everyday fridge gases. It's a nonsense and false that trainers are using either of those inert gases as go fast treatments. If they had any effect it would be to make horses go slower.

A good betting race too.

I'm sure you will be welcome with open arms in the Jockeys room.

I assure you I do get out a lot! As for shit stirring - who's the real shit stirrer? Becks Nairn and her weird science podcasts and facebook postings of unsubstantiated twaddle. Which it seems you believe. Or the "shit stirrers" that are bagging hard working Jockeys by taking out of context screen shots of their whip action. I'm surprised @curious or @Thomass can find someone to ride their horses. Actually @Thomass is more an armchair critic than an active participant. The industry isn't sick and on that we agree. It is no less healthy than society as a whole. In that respect it reflects society. Strangely the industry holds licensees to a higher degree of scrutiny and punishment than the rest of society presumably because of the mistaken construct of requiring a social license. The fact is INCA found SFA. Not because they were necessarily incompentent nor didn't have enough funding or the right tools but because there was nothing to find. So the ends justifies whatever means in your case. I gather you are another Anti-racing person who I'm sure will be welcomed on those sites that are Premier Anti-Racing Sites.

Likewise I have a science background as well. That said I believe we do have different opinions on the veracity of the mRNA vaccine testing. Nairn doesn't have a clue what she is talking about and the conclusions she draws are ludicrous.

Her posts. She makes wild allegations without any proof. I realise it suits your anit-racing agenda or levelling the playing field or whatever it is.

Then the others are uninformed or ignorant if they believe the crap she writes. There will always be rogues and exceptions in any industry let alone livestock industries. But those examples aren't representative of the entire industy yet the anti-racing mob and I include Nairn in that group represent those exceptions as being the norm for the racing industry. Just like the attnendent anti-racing news media who sensationalise the smallest indiscretion with headlines like "Horse returns positive Cocaine" and then proceeds to write an article that infers horse drug abuse is rife. The fact is it isn't rife! Do any of you stop to think that the RIB can't find anything because there isn't anything to find? INCA proved that. Yeah the $14m that was spent on INCA wasn't enough to produce results! Yeah na. What "dirty little secrets"? The platform is all yours to reveal. But I take it you are either anti-racing or an underachiever in racing and will just rely on misinformation or just inneundo, inference and supposition. BTW I assure you I'm not anyone's sycophant!!! LOL @hesi will readily attest to that!

Meeting News Venue Changes Confirmed for RACE Awapuni Spring Meetings New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR) and RACE Inc. have today confirmed further changes to the Spring racing calendar in the Central Districts, as remediation works continue at the RACE Awapuni track. The meeting scheduled for Saturday 11 October, featuring the $120,000 Group 3 Spring Sprint (1400m), will now be run at the Ōtaki-Māori Racecourse. While progress is being made at the RACE Awapuni venue, the ability to race there in October remains dependent on weather and grass growth. Given the prominence of the meeting, a decision has been made in consultation with Entain to transfer the fixture to Ōtaki-Māori Racing Club. The meeting originally scheduled at Ōtaki-Māori Racecourse on Saturday 18 October will be transferred, with the new venue to be confirmed following further discussions in September. As previously announced, the RACE Awapuni 6 and 20 September meetings have been rescheduled. NZTR and the TAB NZ Dates Committee have approved the following venue changes: Saturday 6 September - Otaki-Māori RC at Ōtaki Racecourse Saturday 20 September - Marton JC at RACE Trentham Saturday 11 October - Otaki-Māori RC at Ōtaki Racecourse A venue for the meeting currently scheduled at Otaki on Saturday 18 October will be confirmed in the coming weeks. A formal RACE Awapuni track review will take place on Monday 15 September, attended by representatives from NZTR, RACE Inc., the Racing Integrity Board (RIB), consultant Liam O’Keeffe, the New Zealand Jockeys Association, Entain and senior trainers, with all parties working closely to bring the venue back to racing standard as soon as possible.

Don't tell me you take @Transparency aka Wightman seriously?
